Tunnocks Thread 2

960 replies

Boiledbeetle · 16/08/2023 16:13

The question asked in Thread 1 has still not been answered satisfactorily, and so the quest continues to discover which side of the fence Tunnocks are on or whether they are in fact sat atop the fence throwing Snowballls and Tea cakes at both sides.

I have no idea where the link below will send you. hopefully to the original thread and at the start, but it could be a completely different thread half way through. I'm too full of sugar to concentrate properly!

That's not fair! There should have been a trigger warning. I had a mouthful of wine.

The paper peels off the wafer wrappers fairly easily. The resulting layer of foil still seems to have a bit of sticky on it....just sayin'.

I tried whilst waiting for the kettle to boil and ended up with stripe of foil. It may require patience, like peeling the top layer of a beermat in one piece!

Right. I have things to do....

Hmmmm, shall I do what I'm supposed to be doing? Or prat around for another few hours?

Goes off to watch cat videos do important stuff.

I am keeping the wrappers from my Tunnock's wafers, folded into very thin strips. I'm not sure why I am keeping them, though - some sort of craft project? I think I need my sanity checked.

Can I 'phone a friend?

I'd ask the audience but they can be brutal 😱

No, it's my final answer. If I don't stop playing with it, I'll go blind.

Okay, 3rd draft

Daisy, Daisy give me your reality
I'm half crazy all for the love of me
It's going to be a shock
You'll lose to a bloke in a frock
I'll win the race, I'll take first place
Due to male puberty

Final decision?

Are you sure?

Wrong rhyme, I was thinking of the original 'oo', should have been 'ee'

Has anyone done a 'Daisy Bell' pastiche? It's over a hundred years old, it has to be in the public domain.

Male puberty does that to you

I'm just thinking out loud.

Fundraising chapter 5 is going in with the book chapter 20 stuff I think.

So cycling could go in with Tras.

One of the equality ones is urine related I think. And I could probably find a home for the other equality one.

The Pride 2 can find a home in other chapters and chapter 18 is also all about a TRA punching a woman.

So I can sort it. I've just got to get head in the right space. And I need to clear some unexpected other work that's taking up to much head space, but that has to be finished by Wednesday so then i can hopefully concentrate without getting sidetracked by unexpected paperwork to sort.

(One day I'm going to make a book that I actually get the money from!!!!! Rather than it going to charity!!!)

Boiled, if you give us some chapter headings which are short in poems, it might give some inspiration.

The numbers down the left hand side are currently what's in each chapter.

They're is some moving around to do, and some can go in with others but you can see some chapters are low on numbers.

And I have some major chapter naming to do.

A lot of the small chapters I can probably stick in with others, but I'm thrown by cycling, it could well end up in with TRAs

I like @Transcapybara a few wee verses

I reckon with some shuffling and making sure a long chapter comes just before a short one etc. A couple of teabreak type chapters and I'll get it to work, eventually.

When I finally drag myself away from Ryan Reynolds of course.

@Boiledbeetle How about "A few wee verses" as a chapter title?

IcakethereforeIam · 10/09/2023 22:27

@Waitwhat23 brilliant idea! Consider yourself clicked. Though without the actual clicking, seems a bit redundant now.

Unless you want an actual click?

There's words, I see them, but there's Ryan, ignores words.

Swooooooon.

The thing is he shouldn't be so mmmmmmmmm. His face is wrong but he's just mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Erm... Anyway. Maybe the dark chocolate makes the fluff biscuit resistant?

Cervix I do have tho come up with some chapter titles. I mean currently I've got one that's just called URINE!

Annoyingly I've got some chapters that have lots of poems (dam you Nicola Sturgeon) and then ones where I've got 2. So I'm debating whether I'm going to have to amalgamate some chapters, or move stuff around or fuck knows.

Goes off to rock in a corner!!!!!

IcakethereforeIam my uni got a grant to study toothbrushing psychology so I reckon you could. The Art and Science of Tunnocks. That could be a chapter title for you Boiledbeetle.

I haven't had a caramel wafer today because I made flapjacks and ate a sizeable amount. Tomorrow I will be enjoying my TMCCW with a cup of tea after the school run.

IcakethereforeIam · 10/09/2023 21:51

Drooling! That reminded me. I think I've posted before about what I think is the best way to eat teacakes (bite off biscuit then stuff the fluff in your gob). I did that earlier today and, I don't know if this is a property of the dark chocolate teacakes only, but the biscuit came away with nary a speck of fluff stuck to it!

I think this requires further exploration. Do you think I could get a grant?
